Statewide schedule — read this before you rely on it
All 67 county tax collectors follow the same November 1 due date and April 1 delinquency date; only millage rates differ. Most counties in this state follow these dates.
Taxes unpaid after April 1 are delinquent and accrue 1.5% monthly interest plus fees, and a tax certificate is sold on the property.
Tax collectors mail notices within 20 working days of receiving the certified roll, which opens for collection November 1.

$
Effective rate 0.37% = this county's median owner-occupied tax bill ($689, ACS 2022 5-year estimate) divided by the typical home value at the time ($188,057, Zillow, 2022-12-31). Exemptions the seller holds — homestead, senior, veteran — usually do not transfer with the deed, so a new purchase can run above this figure. The county assessor sets the assessed value; this is an estimate, not a quote.
By post: mail to the county treasurer; the postmark usually counts, not the arrival date.
In person: the treasurer's office, with your bill or parcel number.
Escrow: if your mortgage escrows taxes, the servicer pays — you still owe any shortfall.
